I wrote Mel Blanc a letter when I was a kid(1981). He responded by sending me an 8x10 color photo of him and his characters, signed to ME(putting my first name on it). As a 10 year old kid, I couldn't believe it. I love this guy!

Even among voice actors, he is GOAT He has one of the greatest single takes in the history of the profession. The "Rabbit season/Duck season" episode of Looney Tunes where Daffy is trying to convince Elmer Fudd that it's rabbit season. The part where Daffy dresses up like Bugs, and Bugs like Daffy, he does each characters voice, doing an impression of the other, and had an argument between the two. He did it without messing up in *ONE TAKE!* And he also played Elmer Fudd!

We owe Jack Benny and his stalwarts on the show our eternal gratitude. Oh, to have comedians these days with the insight and compassion of Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, Bob Newhart and others of that time. True comedy!

Understanding humanity and being able to laugh at yourself is important. This is why Jack was so successful. Also loved Mel.

We’ve all seen this skit so many times, but Mel Blanc made this one truly memorable. So funny.

I loved Jack Benny. He was so funny. And he was a very generous person, not the tightwad that he portrayed. But it made for some great scenes. And, yes, Jack was a very good musician! I introduced my son to the Jack Benny Shows many years ago. He enjoyed him as much as I did. Mel Blac was a regular on his show and was very funny, too. What would the old cartoons have been without the 'man of a hundred (or maybe thousand) voices'?

IMDB puts it at 400 voices, but according to Mel Blanc's son, it was around 1500 distinct voices.

Jack Benny often poked fun at his violin playing, but he was actually very good! I never knew that before.

I must have watched this same skit 10 times now. There is something completely different about communication between people and team playing when cultures that are alien to each other meet in different environments. This show is a timeless masterpiece.

There is absolutely NOTHING "racist" about this stuff. Latinos LOVED Mel Blanc! A few years ago, there was a "controversy" about Speedy Gonzales on Cartoon Network. Some butt-in-ski thought it was "racist," and tried to get Speedy off the air. When Latino fans got wind of this, they insisted, "What's all the fuss about? We LOVE Speedy Gonzales!"

Marxist Liberals are not only censorship hypocrites, they also have no sense of humor. (Could their writers get by without a laugh-track? I doubt it.)

Part of the reason for Jack's deadpan expression in this sketch was to prevent him from laughing uncontrollably. You could see it on his face every time he and Mel did this routine, or a variation.
@GenGamesUniverse Жыл бұрын
Yep, you can see it happen in the "Si, Sy, Sue" airport sketch, as Jack Benny cracks up for a while. It was also known that Mel would literally try every time to make Jack crack up backstage by giving him the "Si, Sy, Sue" stare.

I seen the headlines on the newspaper early morning in July 1989 telling of Blancs passing, and it left me with a profound sadness, that an era had passed.

In the ENTIRE History of Comedy, from the First Comedian, Og, standing outside his cave entertaining the rest of the tribe, to the Present Day, NOBODY Ever did dead-pan as well as Jack Benny (although I DO recall a Johnny Carson show when he and Jack Webb each did his best to break up the other one!). Benny was in a league by himself. A Great Man, indeed.
